You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger

After Alfie leaves his wife, Helena, to pursue his lost youth with a free-spirited call girl named Charmaine, Helena abandons rationality and surrenders her life to the loopy advice of a charlatan fortune teller. Meanwhile, daughter Sally develops a crush on her handsome boss, Greg, while her husband, Roy, becomes moonstruck over Dia, a mystery woman who catches his gaze through a nearby window. These four will find out how easy it is for their illusions to make fools of them.

The pits. Ugly cinematography, bad acting, a script that goes nowhere... until a demolition derby of cheap ironies is your idea of somewhere. Brolin, in particular, was a total embarrassment -- maybe the worst performance ever in an Allen film.

Classic Woody Allen
More twists and turns than a kayak down river in a slalom race.
Ending sort of like Marigold Hotel.
Would be great to watch a second time if a person could forget the multiple endings

An excellent movie, similar to "Match Point" and "Cassandra's Dream", but not as dark.

This one did not leave me wanting more. Freida was the eye candy- and nothing more. Disappointing story.

Pointless and muddled, with whiny characters and farce-like situations that are set into motion, then completely abandoned. The uneven tone plays out like someone who's changed his mind mid-stream: set up his jokes, and then never bothered to write the punchlines. It also employs one of Allen's most pernicious character types: the stupid, cheap hooker who is nothing but a trash can where he throws his most misogynistic impulses. Sloppily written, badly constructed, unfunny.
Not just a misfire--a disaster.
